I consider myself to be friendly, outgoing, and quizzical. My sense of humor is usually on my own level and whenever I make a joke I'm usually the only one that laughs. I find a lot of things funny and try my best to keep life light hearted.

Backpacked around Europe on a shoestring and got support from the Couchsurfing community.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd be willing to give a few music lessons: both theory and performance. I've been playing piano and percussion for a few years now. I can also show you how to do a very basic beatbox. Also, if you are into computers and or development, I welcome the chance to share and learn more. :)
